Given the ever-increasing diversity of both the global and national community, diversity and inclusion are critical topics for consideration in healthy organizational settings. Promotion of diversity and inclusion is especially important for institutions of higher learning since diverse and inclusive environments more accurately teach learners about the real world, provide impetus for social change, and improve individuals' skills of cross-cultural interaction. The benefits of diversity and inclusion can be experienced in the anatomical sciences, including human anatomy and physiology, when course content has relevant connections to topics of diversity and when these topics are in alignment with standard learning goals or competencies. While some organizations, including anatomy and anatomy and physiology educators, have established policies, standards, or objectives for diversity and inclusion, there are many other professional societies relevant to anatomy and/or physiology that have not adopted such guidelines. Anatomy and anatomy and physiology educators also benefit from a more diverse working environment, multicultural interactions with other individuals at their institutions or professional meetings, and diversification of anatomy instruction in the classroom with effective technology and teaching methods. The applications of diversity and inclusion foster more culturally educated and enriched global societies and anatomy and physiology communities.
